About this map

Plantation Key and the surrounding archipelagos of the Florida Keys define this maritime landscape, where the terrestrial environment is intricately woven with the surrounding waters of Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The community of Islamorada, Village of Islands spans several islands, including Windley Key and Upper Matecumbe Key, connected by the corridor of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail and the Old Overseas Highway. This area represents a modern continuation of the region's transport history, transitioning from the former railway era to a primary focus on tourism and environmental conservation.

Protective designations cover much of the northern waters, specifically the Everglades National Park and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness. For those examining the coastline, the map details numerous aquatic features such as Cowpens Anchorage, Snake Creek, and Whale Harbor Channel. Further offshore, the Islamorada Underwater Coral Gardens and named formations like Davis Reef and Crocker Reef mark the edge of the Straits of Florida.
